I was thinking more along the lines of the UCL. Or by up did you mean on the forearm or the bicep?

Pretty much in between them

There are those 2 bones (processes maybe)

I'm assuming it's the UCL, especially if it's more within the forearm. I had issues with it after tearing it in football, and it will bug me still during certain lifts.

Yeah man. Hopefully I am not cheating at all on the last few reps. But probably am, hah

Well that was disappointing.

Couldn't even complete 375 today tryna max out

What probably went wrong:
1. Peaked too early
2. Didn't focus on recovery enough
3. The 1rm calculators strength curve is greater than my actual

ie. my 10rm @320 calculates about 405 for 1rm, yet I only have been able to hit 370

🙃

I think I'm gonna figure out a proper strength scale coefficient for each of my lifts to program from there

Whelp. Guess the summer cut begins

Tbh 1rm calculators are only accurate when inputting your 4-6rep maxes

Any less and they under shoot, any more and they overshoot it

What did you eat before your attempt?

@Deleted User

Hmmm, I made sure I carbed up and was hydrated

cereal for breakfast, Gatorade right before/during

I might have to start using the sissy pad when I squat. Huge red mark across my back

just squat more till you find that comfortable spot

I squatted shirtless so I forced that to fix itself

Nice. Its not that its uncomfortable so much...but my gf was like what happened to your back?

I've had my back develop a patch of rough skin, almost like a scab, quite a few times over the years

Ah I would rather do that @BigBadSaxon - ID

I have spots on my shoulder blades from the gnarling of the barbell from squating. It's all just part of the process.

dont use the pussy pad

Anybody here have some recommendations for a primer on weightlifing programming, specifically for the deadlift? like the concepts of properly building up to a new 1RM

5x5 stronglifts + the app will probably do you good

Is that useful for any experience level? I thought that was more geared towards novices, but maybe Im confusing it with something else

It'll work fine for beginners

Well, I definitely dont qualify as a beginner. I'm pulling around 520 at 250BW, but I havent been pleased with my progress the last few months, and I think my workout plans could be more well rounded. Basically, I am more curious about the concepts behind organizing a program, rather than one specific program. Just wondering if anyone has good book or article recommendations.

ah

Idk, try researching if sheiko had written anything about it or other great strength coaches

Sheiko probably has something

But it might be in russian

Awesome vid. Those guys put out quality content

Finally hit 315 deadlift again after a disc herniation in december. Always keep pushing forward guys.

Ouch, good job

Nice work @Steve - NJ

Nice job dude

Just need to get back to 405, but need to take it slow this time
